Sepia Saturday 176 : 11 May 2013

Oh I remember all those chemistry lessons at school : the tubes, the flasks, the Bunsen Burners, the extraordinary smells, the unfathomable formulae. Oh I remember school : the wooden desks, the inky fountain pens, the smell of school dinners, the unfathomable formulae. And if you don't want to go back to school with your Sepia Saturday 176 contribution, you can always feature glass bottles or glass partitions or glass windows. It's Sepia Saturday of course, and you can feature almost anything you want - all you need to do is to post your post - on or around Saturday 11th May 2013 - and then link it to the linky list below. But before you light the gas flame of your imagination, why not take a look at what is to come in the next two Sepia Saturdays.

177 : Sepia Saturday 177 stays with kids, but these kids are upside down, wrong way around and all over the place. Kids have always climbed and swung and proud parents have always taken photographs of their acrobatic endeavours.

178 : Sepia Saturday faces up to the challenge of featuring the face. It doesn't matter if it is young or old, male or female, black or white .... as long as it is sepia.

For now, let us concentrate on Sepia Saturday 176. It's time to mix together all the ingredients of a great blog post - it is time to distill the results into a sepia compound of archival pleasure.

Well, sorry to say it's a rerun, but perhaps one that no Sepia folks have seen. Things have been too crazed this week to assemble a fresh post - bringing my 90-year-old mum to live with us since she's too much for the retirement home to handle!

Finally, I got my post in and it's still Saturday! I will be sure to visit all your posts by the weekend's end. We are celebrating Mother's Day this weekend and things are quite busy! Oh and I think welcome back Alan is in order too!

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
